Sniff...yes "Mommy", I am big for my age. Ow, ow...oh hold me tighter; it hurts soo much. |

FJ, oh sniff - I see - sorry. |

Isn't there some grown up version of the Minute-Mom (besides hookers)? My sister's idea of heaven is a giant woman with a big, warm, pillowy chest and soft clothes (ala Cosette in Les Mis) that she could snuggle up to. |

its kind of off topic, but whats a "cootie"? |
|
| |
Cootie is a special thermal t-shirt worn by racing pigeons. |

"Cootie" is also a kid's game in the U.S. that involves building a model of an imaginary bug. But the cooties referred to in the idea are the infection an elementary school child receives when s/he touches a member of the opposite sex. The case is typically much more severe when the infecting person is reputed to have a romantic affection for or appeal to the infected. And a kiss can result in a nearly fatal dose. Cooties can also result from being associated with a broad range of taboos (wet pants, unfashionable clothing, nose-picking, general unpopularity, etc.), or even by contact with a person of the same sex who has cooties. But when I was a kid, cooties mostly came from icky girls. |

I think both bliss' definition and the game derive from the schoolyard definition; I have no idea how it got into pigeon apparel. |
|
| |
I thought the term was universal. My apologies to any befuddled non-Americans. |

and bris, in your first annotation, are you suggesting a protection racket? |
|
| |
And cooties still come from icky girls. Here, I'll send you some. |

Sort of a junior division of the company of strangers, perhaps? |
